International Extradition and Cross-Border Criminal Defense

International criminal matters require more than traditional criminal defense experience. Cross-border investigations and extradition issues frequently involve overlapping jurisdictions, parallel proceedings, treaty obligations, and complex procedural issues requiring a strategic and coordinated approach.

Jayne Law Group represents individuals involved in international extradition matters and cross-border criminal investigations involving the United States and foreign jurisdictions. The firm handles sophisticated criminal matters involving financial allegations, government investigations, and issues extending beyond a single jurisdiction.

International cases often arise in connection with allegations involving fraud, financial crimes, business activities, or government investigations spanning multiple countries. In some instances, individuals first become aware of potential issues through government inquiries, travel restrictions, requests for records, unexpected arrests due to a Red Notice, or investigations involving employers, business associates, or third parties.

The firm has particular experience representing individuals from Eastern Europe and those involved in international white collar matters with potential extradition exposure to the United States. The attorneys at Jayne Law Group also speak Russian, allowing the firm to work more effectively with Russian-speaking clients and families in matters where language, communication, and cultural understanding may be especially important.

Our experience also includes matters involving 28 U.S.C. § 1782, which permits discovery and judicial assistance in the United States for use in foreign proceedings. Section 1782 proceedings can create significant strategic considerations in international investigations and disputes and may intersect with broader criminal or regulatory matters.

The firm also has experience with additional international litigation and criminal procedures involving foreign evidence and testimony, including Rule 15 foreign depositions, letters rogatory, and matters requiring coordination with foreign courts and legal authorities. Cross-border cases frequently involve witnesses, documents, and evidence located outside the United States, requiring familiarity with international procedures and strategic considerations that can materially affect the course of a case.

Jayne Law Group brings extensive experience in complex criminal defense, federal matters, and trial practice to sophisticated cases requiring discretion, individualized attention, and strategic advocacy.
